I'm talking a lot more now. I don't actually say much - but I do make a lot of noises. I slept pretty well last night. I fell asleep around 8/830...woke up for a few minutes to munch on mommy...and then closed my eyes again. I didn't wake up until 12/1 or so...then slept again until 330/4...and then finally got up around 645'ish. Not too bad?
It's nice out today - sunny, but cold. Mommy wanted to take me for a walk but it's too chilly. I'm not sure what we're going to do today - maybe just a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Mom's doing some laundry right now, while I blog. Aunty Erica and Nick just left this morning so I think mom and dad are finally going to take down the air mattress in dad's office. This was our last round of company :( so we don't need to have it up any more. If anyone out there wants to come and visit me...let mommy know...she'd love to have you!
That makes me think of what it was like when I first came home from being born...boy was it a roller coaster. I don't think mom and dad got more than a 1/2 hr. of sleep at any given time. Poor guys...we've come a long way.
Speaking of that - I'm getting too big for my bassinet. I think mom and dad are considering putting me in my crib to sleep...I'm okay with it...but mom isn't. She likes to have me right next to her. I heard her tell dad that she'd sleep on the floor in my nursery for the first few weeks if they had to move me. (I think she likes me...)
Okay peeps, that's all for now. I'm signing off. xoxo Dylan

Hello Mr. Easter Bunny
Get this...I slept for 10 hours last night and only got up ONCE! I have a routine: I get a bath between 7/730...then I get a new diaper...a lotion rub-down...pjs...boob...then mommy and daddy rock me to sleep...and I'm in bed by 930! I've been doing this now for like 2 weeks. Yesterday, mommy and daddy got up before me! They woke up at 7 and I didn't wake up until 818! Holy cow!
Aunty Erica and Nick are still here and I'm having so much fun with them. We all played trivial pursuit last night and mommy and Aunty Erica kicked daddy and Nick's butts for the 2nd time! Oh, and guess what I did yesterday? I got my picture taken with the EASTER BUNNY! It was so much fun!
Mommy had been wanting to get these pictures done for a while...but didn't want to spend a lot of money since I just had professional ones done 2 months ago. When we were all at the mall yesterday, we saw the Easter Bunny and it was only $25 for 18 cards with my picture on it. Not bad, huh? I didn't cry once when I was sitting on Mr. EB's lap. I just kind of hung out and thought to myself, "mommy and daddy are so nuts....they're trying to make me laugh right now by calling my name out and making funny faces while stretching their bodies across the EB lawn...geeze louise...I'm just a laid back baby guys? I'll smile when I want.
I don't have to tell you this...but they came out beautiful. I am very photogenic afterall.
I think Grandma Longley got me an easter basket and I can't wait to get it. If you're reading this grandma - my favorite colors are green and blue and I LOVE books. I really, really want one of those Baby Einstein CDs...mommy has read some good stuff about them...classical music is supposed to be good for me. Oh, and I'd like a baby yoga CDs...I need to practice my poses during the week so I'm ready to show off my flexibility to Grace at Itsy Bitsy Yoga on Thursday.
I hope you're reading this grandma! I've been a good little boy!
Happy Easter to all of my peeps reading this :) Love, Dylan
PS - I'm 3 1/2 months old today!

Am I Hungry?
Am I not as hungry? I haven't eaten well at all today. Does this mean I'm growing up? Does this mean I don't need as much milk as I once did? Mommy has tried to feed me several times already and I'll I've done is nibbled. I know she's worried. She's used to me eating every 1 1/2-2 hrs. What gives? Since I am mommy's first baby - she doesn't know what the norm is? I guess I'll just eat when I'm hungry.
Mommy has had a really fun morning. She had her friend Sara over and they got to talk over coffee. Then her other friend Melissa stopped by to say hi. Oh, and we went and picked up my medicine...and when daddy comes home for lunch, mommy is going to run to the post office. She said it was too cold outside for me to go with her. It's supposed to snow tomorrow - yay! I love snow! We just found out that aunty Erica is coming tonight instead of tomorrow to try and avoid the storm. I can't wait to see her!
Not much else going on here...same old stuff...different day. My 4 month checkup is just around the corner (the end of April) and unfortunately, I have to get more vaccinations...but we'll cross that bridge when the time comes. That's all for now folks. Love you all :) Dylan Heed

Itsy Bitsy Yoga
It's official. I am a yoga junkie :) I went to my very first Itsy Bitsy Yoga class today and I LOVED IT! Mommy and I left home around 9am and headed for Springfield to make our 10am class. We got there a little bit early to meet our instructor (she was super nice). There were 5 other moms there with their little babies (just like me) and get this - I met a girl! That's right! Her name is Grace...and she sure is cute :) We stared at each other for the whole hour.
I kept farting a lot. Mommy was doing the 'chunky-monkey' hold (that's really what it's called) and all of these smelly farts kept popping out...lol...it was funny. I didn't cry once. Not once! I was such a good boy and mommy says I'm a pro - A PRO - at yoga.
I learned all sorts of new songs and poses and holds...it was great. Mommy got to meet other people that she could relate with - some who were going thru the same sleepless nights as her. She even got a little workout in with all of the bouncing up and down we were doing on her knees. I wish I had Itsy Bitsy Yoga every day...it's only once a week though...so I have to wait until next Thursday to see Grace again :(
Our instructor was telling us that this 'program' was created by a pediatrician/moms/yoga people - which I thought was great. I mean, who else better to put this together than the ones who know us the best? Every baby should be doing this...it's great for the digestive system (which we all know, I need help with). It's good for sleeping, fussiness, etc. I'll have to check back in with you all to let you know know if/when I start sleeping thru the night. (I see mommy crossing her toes right now).
Anyways, I must go now. I have a big, BIG day tomorrow. I am having coffee with my friends, Owen, Stephen and Garrett first thing in the morning while mommy, Melissa and Sara hang out. And then, mommy and I are going to the pharmacy to pick up my Prilosec...and then we are meeting my papa for lunch at Mazzios...and then...mommy and I are going to the post office. Oh, and then I am going to help mommy make the guest bed because Aunty Erica is coming to visit for the weekend!!! Yahoo!!! Later peeps!

Growing Up
Mom can't believe how much I'm 'talking' these days. I make all sorts of noises...she thinks I'm going to say my first word any day now. I've got news for you mom - I may be laughing at the ceiling fan going round and round - but we've still got a few more months before I say mama!
I'm starting to 'gum' things...and blow little raspberries out of my mouth. I can also sit in my bumbo like a big boy - not by myself of course - but with the help of mommy and daddy - I can pretend to sit up.
So, daddy is on a mission. He's trying to decide where we should go on our 1st family vacation. Mommy was thinking Colorado. She's never been and it's always been a place of interest to her. Daddy's been there though. Daddy wants to go to Chicago - see Lake Michigan, etc. Mommy says he can decide. I don't care either way. As long as Bailey gets to come with us - I'm game.
Well, I gotta go. Daddy needs my help on the grill. We're having brats and potato wraps tonight.

Daddy! Daddy! Hooray for Daddy!
Yay! Daddy's home! Yahoo! Yippee! I'm so excited! I can't believe he's home! I missed him so much! Whoah! Daddy! I love you! I love you! I love you! Don't ever leave me again! Let's see...what am I going to do today...I'm going to hang out with my daddy...and sit on my daddy's lap...and kiss my daddy's face...and poop my pants so that daddy can change EVERY ONE OF MY DIAPERS (hear that mom?) Oh yeah, it's game time daddy-o!
I love you too mom. Grandpa Longley and Grandma Anne are visiting right now - and boy do I like them. They are so nice to me and they give me lots of lovin'. I wish they could stay longer. I love waking up to them in the morning. They look at me like they just want to gobble me all up! I won't be able to see them again until this summer when we all fly out to meet great-grandpa Ward and grandma Ward. That's too long!
Grandpa and Grandma bought me all new clothes. I'm wearing my new Timberland onesie right now and I must say...I'm lookin' miiiiiiii-teeeee-fine...........!!! Daddy thinks I've gotten bigger...but mommy says no way! She says I'm still her little boy...I dunno...I just know that I missed my daddy and I'm so, so glad he's home :)

Miss You Already Daddy :(
Did you know that my daddy slept on the hotel bathroom floor when we were in St. Louis last week? Yeah, he did. Bailey kept barking at the noises out in the hallway and mommy was worried that I'd wake up so she made daddy take Bailey into the bathroom to sleep. So...daddy being the sucker that he is for our dog...slept with her in the bathroom. How sad is that...:( But how cute is that!
Okay, I just had to write that one down for the books. Anywho - Grandpa Longley and Grandma Anne are here! They got in at 430 pm yesterday and boy were they happy to see me! They didn't want to put me down! I was a little cranky last night though - so they didn't get to hold me as long as I would have liked. But today is a new day and I can't wait to be held!
I slept 3, 3, 2 and 2 last night. That's OK...but the night before, I slept 6 and 3! Mommy and daddy are trying to get me on a schedule for bedtime. I think 9 is the magic number. The last 2 nights have been successful. Let's hope this sticks.
So I'm a sad little boy today. My daddy is leaving for Vegas :( He goes every year for March Madness with his buddy Dave. I wish I could go with him. Daddy, don't you know that I love basketball too? I wanna hang out with the boys! Why do I have to stay with mom!? Can't you wear a mom-boob? I'm really gonna miss you! Come back soon!
